About me

I am currently pursuing a degree in civil engineering and have a passion for creating sustainable and innovative infrastructure solutions. Traveling to Asia has always been a source of inspiration, exposing me to unique and efficient approaches to construction and urban development. These experiences have deepened my desire to design infrastructure that balances progress with environmental responsibility. Beyond my studies, I am actively involved in volunteering, particularly in STEM outreach, where I strive to inspire the next generation of engineers and problem-solvers. Through my work, I hope to integrate global insights into practical engineering solutions that contribute to more sustainable and resilient communities.
"This scholarship represents empowerment and support—an opportunity to gain global insights and explore innovative solutions. It’s about pushing the boundaries to drive meaningful and lasting change in Australia and Asia."
